A promise ring is a ring that is indicative of a serious promise made to oneself or another. In most cases, it’s given to a romantic partner to signify a commitment to a monogamous relationship, sometimes as a precursor to an engagement ring. Students sometimes use class rings as promise rings, although this may be less common than in the past.[citation needed] A friend may also bestow a promise ring to another friend to signify their loyalty and/or resolve to remain friends forever.[citation needed] In other cases, a promise ring may just be purchased for oneself as a reminder of a personal promise. Promise rings can be worn on any finger, but those symbolizing pre-engagement are generally worn on the left ring finger. Promise rings date back to the 16th century. They were also known as friendship rings and illustrations show these rings as early as 1576 AD. In those days, when a man could not afford to get married, he would often buy a promise ring as a placeholder until such time he would be able to effectuate a marriage. During the 20th century, in some instances women would offer men’s promise rings to their man because, at the time, he was unable to commission to be wed. It was generally a surprise offering and was something the man could accept or deny. Tradition generally holds that these rings were given by younger couples. This was usually the case because it was normal for the young couple not to have a wealth position that would allow for marriage and children. Nowadays anyone can give a promise ring, regardless of wealth or social status. Many designs contain the heart symbol and it is symbolic in that the lover dedicates their heart to being with each other. Sterling silver promise rings are also given when the purchaser is unable to afford the precious styles and genuine diamonds. Other designs don’t necessarily contain hearts. They are usually simplistic in design and may have diamonds. Many use 3 stone diamond rings (usually smaller in stone size than the engagement three stone) or another classic design. I want a GT2 ring. ---

Promise rings have grown in popularity for “pre engagement” meaning if you’re sure that you have found your match but you aren’t ready to get married just yet, a promise ring is a beautiful and romantic gesture that symbolizes commitment and a promises for a future together._ Sounds like “I dont want to marry you but I still wanna do you”. I think it will be hilarous to buy a cheapo one from Walmart and give it to some girl on the first date. Lol. ---

It was a conversation that has come up with random people and never heard of these till now and thought it was the high school wave of “love” but found out some older people have had them too. Paris Hilton was on Letterman last night too and talked about the one her and her boyfriend had too. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/promise-rings/57569.md?page=2)
